Notes from the band. What an odd little beast this song is, and what a long strange trip it has taken in getting here. Next week, we’ll be re-releasing our 2003 EP. It has been out of print for several years, and unlike our more recent releases, has never been available via digital distribution. We figured that as long as we were bringing it back to the world, we might as well polish up the original recording with a new remastering job, and cast about for some bonus material while we were at it. Is a per...

Notes from the band. All posts for the month February, 2013. Baker’s Dozen #1: Atmosphere. Yes, this is entry #1 being posted after entry #2, and everyone is just going to have to be Ok with that. Atmosphere is currently up at our bandcamp site, streaming for free or downloadable for the low low cost of a single American dollar. We believe it’s a fine addition to your digital SoN collection. And though the album it from will never see print again, this song will soon have some re-recorded f...Why is this...

Notes from the band. All posts for the month November, 2013. Baker’s Dozen Track #6: The Way Life’s Meant To Be. What happened to #5, I hear you cry? We’ll get to that shortly. In the meantime, here’s the lowdown on our latest entry in the Baker’s Dozen. Project. This is the first song that Matt and I have put together for Theme Music. Or My Chemical Romance’s. But I’m pretty sure one of the entries that would land in the Top 5 is ELO’s. That album is certainly outside the norm as far as concept albums g...

Quality & Quantity, Part 1 | SoNBlog
https://sonsofnothing.wordpress.com/2012/12/07/qq-1
Notes from the band. Quality and Quantity, Part 1. So, this is a ridiculously long-delayed and long-winded (both of which I apologize for in advance) gig recap. I almost didn’t write it at all, due to a combination of the usual procrastination issues plus a perverse curiosity about whether I could last an entire year between blog entries, and whether a fully blank 2012 might be, er. Somehow, than a year with an untoward gap followed by a glut of lengthy entries popping up at the last minute. Still a holi...

Baker’s Dozen #2: Head Over Heels | SoNBlog
https://sonsofnothing.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/bakers-dozen-entry-2-head-over-heels
Notes from the band. Baker’s Dozen #2: Head Over Heels. Why “Head Over Heels”? Why is this post entitled “Baker’s Dozen” and why is it labeled as entry #2 when there has been no entry #1 as of yet? The answer to the last question will have to wait for a few days, but Matt Meldrum explains everything else below. Read on…. This is an exciting time for us here at SoN World. This is the first time we’ve ever recorded and released a (non-Floyd) cover tune! February 15, 2013. Baker’s Dozen #1: Atmosphere.

https://sonsofnothing.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/qq-2
Notes from the band. Quality and Quantity, Part 2. So…where were we? The concept of the show changed quite a bit in the months leading up to it. There were several bullet points that I wanted to hit: the 10th anniversary of Flyin’ Zion. And I was looking forward to shaking things up and stretching our legs a bit. Wish You Were Here. It’s not our intention to show any disrespect to our friend and former bandmate Tim Hollinger. Or encroach on his great work with The Floyd Show. Plenty of familiar faces in ...

Baker’s Dozen #1: Atmosphere | SoNBlog
https://sonsofnothing.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/bakers-dozen-1-atmosphere
Notes from the band. Baker’s Dozen #1: Atmosphere. Yes, this is entry #1 being posted after entry #2, and everyone is just going to have to be Ok with that. This song was recorded for SoN’s first album in 2001, but its origins actually go back further, to the mid-90s and a band called The Rain Kings. Rick Kreifeldt (the band’s guitarist and chief songwriter) and I wanted to do a song within a song, essentially two sections of instrumental with a brief verse-chorus sandwiched between.
